Recent Reviews in Hastings

Great value for money.

4 out of 5

Basic but comfortable and clean rooms. Large comfortable beds. Great sea views from sea facing rooms. Not the sort of hotel you would choose if you are looking for luxury and pampering but extremely good value for a sea front hotel with all the little things you would expect, tea & coffee facilities, hairdryer, large TV, en-suite etc. It was very windy when we stayed there and as a consequence there was a significant draught coming through the gap in the balcony doors but there was a fairly powerful heater in the room to compensate for that. Reception staff very efficient and polite. The dining room for breakfast & having a bar are a welcome addition to a very good value for money hotel.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ! I cannot fault this hotel in ANY way - we stayed for 2 nights ( having done a day trip to France via the Euro Tunnel ) and absolutely LOVED it ! ( and would most DEFINITELY come back again ) The indoor swimming pool and whirlpool were AMAZING, as was the breakfast ! - ALL you could possibly want ASWELL I as a cooked English ! What more could you ask for ? If you were to ask me to sum this hotel up in 1 word it would be - PERFECT !

Pocket Guide: Hastings

Hastings is among the most iconic and welcoming of the country's coastal towns, and is home to plenty of excellent hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs.

An Historic Town

Hastings' rich history dates back to the 8th Century. It's undoubtedly best known, however, for the Battle of Hastings, which saw the beginning of the Norman conquest of England. Since that famous battle of 1066, the town has thrived as a fishing port and, more recently, as a tourist destination.

The Charming Old Town

The town of Hastings comprises three real centres. The grand and peaceful St. Leonards lies to the west, and a lively shopping district lies in the centre. Off to the east is undoubtedly the most charming part of Hastings - the Old Town.

The Old Town's streets are picturesque, with narrow alleyways and half-timbered houses. This historic part of town is also home to some of the town's foremost attractions, as well as a sprinkling of historic hotels, inns and B&Bs.

Attractions in Hastings

In addition to the excellent shopping, eating and drinking on offer in the centre of Hastings, visitors are also treated to an array of attractions. Top of the list for first-time visitors are the Shipwreck Museum and the Fishermen's Museum, both of which detail the town's rich past. The lively fish market demonstrates how to town continues to embrace its fascinating heritage.

Elsewhere in town, visitors can ogle the remains of William the Conqueror's first castle on English soil. There's also a thriving local art scene, with a number of galleries in central locations.

Hotels in Hastings

Hotels in East Sussex are typically of a very high standard, and those in Hastings are no exception. The Best Western Royal Victoria Hotel enjoys a fabulous seafront location, and can't fail to impress guests with its stunning Victorian architecture. The Old Town is also full of small and intimate bed and breakfasts, if you prefer something more homely!
